16 claims

Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

2

2. The first computing device of claim 1, wherein the triggering event comprises a button press on the first computing device.

3

3. The first computing device of claim 1, wherein the triggering event comprises powering on the first computing device.

4

4. The first computing device of claim 1, wherein the initial wireless communication path with the second computing device comprises a direct communication path between the first computing device and the second computing device that does not traverse any of the one or more network devices.

6

6. The first computing device of claim 5, wherein the program instructions that are executable by the at least one processor such that the first computing device is configured to provide the indication comprise program instructions that are executable by the at least one processor such that the first computing device is configured to cause the second computing device to present a visualization, via the software having functionality for controlling the first computing device, indicating that the first computing device has connected to the secure wireless network.

9

9. The first computing device of claim 1, wherein, after using the security information to connect to the secure wireless network, the first computing device is included in the one or more network devices that define the secure wireless network.

10

10. The first computing device of claim 1, wherein the security information for the secure wireless network comprises a security key.

11

11. The first computing device of claim 1, wherein the second set of one or more messages further collectively comprises an identifier for the secure wireless network, and wherein the program instructions that are executable by the at least one processor such that the first computing device is configured to use the security information to connect to the secure wireless network comprise program instructions that are executable by the at least one processor such that the first computing device is configured to use the identifier for the secure wireless network to connect to the secure wireless network.

12

12. The first computing device of claim 1, wherein the secure wireless network comprises a local area network (LAN).

15

15. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 14, wherein the triggering event comprises a button press on the first computing device.

19

19. The system of claim 18, wherein the triggering event comprises a button press on the first computing device.

20

20. The system of claim 18, wherein the triggering event comprises powering on the first computing device.

21

21. The system of claim 18, wherein the initial wireless communication path comprises a direct communication path between the first computing device and the second computing device that does not traverse any of the one or more network devices.

26

26. The system of claim 18, wherein, after using the security information to connect to the secure wireless network, the first computing device is included in the one or more network devices that define the secure wireless network.

27

27. The system of claim 18, wherein the security information for the secure wireless network comprises a security key.

28

28. The system of claim 18, wherein the second set of one or more messages further collectively comprises an identifier for the secure wireless network.

29

29. The system of claim 18, wherein the secure wireless network comprises a local area network (LAN).
